3 Ways to Applique!

Applique is so easy and fun! And, it’s a great way to quickly add fun details, texture, and/or color! It is often used on kids clothing, but, don’t limit yourself there…you’ll find it on all kinds of sewn items: bags, quilts, adult clothing, table runners, and more!

Check out the tutorial video below to see 3 Simple Ways to Applique! I’ll show you how to use this technique with an embroidery machine. Then, we’ll learn it on a sewing machine with a knit fabric and a woven fabric. You’ll also learn how to use Baby Lock’s Fusible Applique paper to print your template on…it’s seriously awesome! It makes life so much easier when appliqueing, and who doesn’t love that?!

I’m wanting to purchase a Sewing/embroidery/quilting machine. I’m really anxious to learn applique. Do all of the Baby lock machines have the machine applique feature or is this software you install. I’m totally new at this! I want to make the right purchase since I’ll be spending a lot of money.

Hi Donna! Your local Baby Lock dealer will be the best place to go to check out the machines and ask about what each has to offer! 🙂 http://www.babylock.com/where-to-buy/ So excited for you! All of the Baby Lock embroidery machines have capability to applique a .pes machine applique file (as well as, embroidery design files)! Some Baby Lock embroidery machines have applique designs built into them to get you started, but, you can also purchase inexpensive embroidery/applique designs, download them to your computer, and place on your embroidery machine! And, of course, you can applique with your sewing machine, as well! 🙂 Happy shopping!!!
